Riot, can we please have the option to choose 3 or 4 roles in ranked/draft queue?

Right now, you can either choose 2 roles, or pick fill, which means you queue up for either 2 or 5 roles. But what about the people who can play 3 or 4 roles? Sure, you can pick top/mid one game, then pick jg/adc the next, but the real reason I want this QoL change is queue times. Every damn time I pick a role other than support/fill, queue times go to 10 minutes, the reason being support has the fewest players in its pool (which is a problem to solve for another day). It just makes sense to allow people to pick 3 or 4 roles to not only reduce queue times, but to reward versatile players who don't want to get support every time they pick "fill". Sure, I like to support once in a while, but definitely not every game, so why can't I queue up for Top/Mid/Jungle/ADC?

you want the option to say you will play Any role except 1? that seems a bit excessive. just choose fill if you are fine with everything except one imo

Excessive? Choosing 4 roles over 2 will reduce queue times in almost every case, that's reason enough to do it. Also, fill isn't really fill anymore, it's 95% support, 5% other roles. I'm saying I want an option to take support out of "fill" so I can play other roles. The support role isn't exactly fun to play every game; there's a reason why support pool has the fewest amount of players. I want to choose fill, but not play support nearly every single time I choose it.

yes it would lower queue times, just like choosing 5 roles would reduce queue times. but that doesn't mean it isn't excessive. saying you want to play Everything except one role seems a bit much

No. People can't commit now to 1 of the 2 slots they pick and either cry about it, beg for lane change or afk. Now you get the trolling from it. Adding more is useless. Go play blind pick if having trouble picking 2 slots.
